Optical Receiver

Fiber optic receivers are instruments that convert light into electrical signals. Sometimes they are also called optical nodes. They contain a photo diode semiconductor, signal conditioning circuitry, and an amplifier. Fiber optic receivers use three types of photo diodes: positive-negative (PN) junctions, positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photo diodes, and avalanche photo diodes (APD). The signal received is transmitted to RF network.

Optical TransmitterFiber optic transmitters are devices that include an LED or laser source, and signal conditioning electronics, to inject a signal into fiber. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have relatively large emitting areas and as a result are not as good light sources as las...

Fiber Optic Patch Cord/ Pigtail/ AdaptorFiber optic patch cord is a fiber cable assembly that connects two ends terminated and ready for installation. There is another type of fiber cable assembly called a pigtail. It is a short optical fiber permanently attached to a source, detector, or other fibe...
